anti-christmas jerks

From the article: > Mrs. Williams [...] said she has good memories of the Christmases she had > as a child. But the growing commercialism of the season and its Christian > exclusivity had long troubled her. Could it be instead, oh, I dunno, because she used to see Christmas through the eyes of a child, but now that she's an adult, her perception has changed? Welcome to the real world. BTW, most Jews I know (I'm by definition catholic myself) are wondering exactly *who* is getting offended by the "Christmas" references, and agree that it's incredibly lame to change something like "the spirit of Christmas" to "the spirit of giving" or the "holiday tree". Political correctness be damned, that is what gets me :mad:

Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002 -
"Gluttony. Envy. Insincerity. Greed. Enjoy Your Christmas." Tell me that they do not have a point ? They started with a pagan ritual, put Christ into it ( HE never really fit ), Coke added Santa, and it went downhill from there.
